COMMUNITY
We celebrate the life
of one of our original members, Heidi Morris White. Heidi passed recently. Heidi was the first Faithplacer to get baptized in the Church. She was also the first Faithplacer to get married under the ministry. We join with her dear husband Brother Ron White, her sister and fellow Faithplacer Sharon Morris, and Heidi’s sons (all part of the Faith Place community) in celebration of a life well-lived.
Our Pastor Sean Edwards
was one of the conveners of a coalition of key clergy who came together to pray for the mayor of the City of New York, Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams, on June 18, 2021. The event was covered by the local and national press.
Faithplacer and BOSS
(“Brothers of Spiritual Significance”) member Rodney Calixte was selected among many as Faith Place’s 2021 FATHER OF THE YEAR. His tireless investment into rearing his children despite challenges and imperfections is truly inspiring. Besides the award, Rodney received a special shout-out during our worship celebration recently. Rodney truly embodies Ephesians 6:4: “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” He is celebrated by his wife and their three children.
Faith Place
was well represented in the Southeast Queens, NYC community in solidarity with several organizations and key clergy to urge for peace in the streets following a tragic gun incident resulting in the death of a young man in the community. The key community leaders and clergy prayed for peace and vowed to continue working to have a strong presence as the summer heats up.
